rainy days, perfect for curling up at home with good books and hot drinks (: raided the lib and was kept pretty satisfactorily (there is such a word!!) occupied for as long as the books lasted.. also went (unproductive) shopping with eunice (: and bumped into many sn humans whom i havent seen since maybe sn or jc! so that was nice.. and also met up with aimei for dinner at the vill'age (is the apostrophe at the right place? :\) which was reallyreally lovely. she's totally been mia since she ran away to la salle, and it was so nice just sitting and talking to her (:
interesting fact on the news: yesterday's rain was more than the total expected rainfall for the whole of dec!
anyway today the rain finally went away and the sun came out again.. so my og headed down to the botanic gardens for a picnic! (: happymadeindedrick'shouse sandwiches, tanjongpagarkenrickbought muffins (double chocolate is DAMN nice!! and the walnuts in banana!), a (fake) frisbee, soccerball, camera, mat, tablecloth and one 500ml water bottle (: so obviously since there wasn't enough water for everyone, we had to seek the water from the swan lake(muddy and gross, with no swans except the carving >.<)/stream/dedrick's secret well o.O.. hahaa had a hilarious time there.. but eventually it kindof got too hot and we all retreated back to dedrick's for the rainyday plan of aircon, hot chocolate (with marshmallows!), poker (joel winner!), tv!, fluxx, bridge and taitee (: ohohoh!! i forgot about kenrick's remote controlled helicopter-turned-fan! hahaa okay this is a very incoherent post..
i realised that no matter how you try to fill your days with people and stuff so that you won't be thinking of other things, there are some things that refuse to be crammed away and always manage to worm it's way out to your mind, like blood that won't stop seeping out of a stubborn wound even when you're pressing on it with five slabs of cotton wool. eventually the cotton wool turns red and is soaked, and blood is just, everywhere.
